Sew it All TV 13 Days of Giveaways Day 2

Thank you everyone for participating in our kickoff giveaway! To celebrate Season 4 of Sew it All TV airing on PBSSeptember 1st, we’re giving away a prize a day for the next 12 days!

Every day you comment on the post and enter into that day’s giveaway, you’re also automatically entered to win the GRAND PRIZE, Season 3 on DVD!

Yesterday we asked, “What projects/techniques would you like to see onSew it All TV?” Thank you for all your great ideas! I think they’d all make great episodes and we’ll do our best to provide the content you’re looking for!

In The Feisty Stitcher, find instructions for super fun projects, such as a coin purse, day planner, gift tags and other garment, home-dec and gift projects.

For another great around-the-house, back to school project, get free instructions to create a fun fabric sketchbook cover with tons of pockets to hold pens and notes from season 3 guest Josephine Kimberling‘s episode, “Material World.” In her episode, Josephine delves into the world of fabric design from an artist’s perspective, and then demonstrates how to construct the cute sketchbook cover.

To win The Feisty Stitcher, answer the following question in the comments section below, “Have you ever created your own fabric print?”

For a project in college, I created a repeating print in varying shades of grey and printed it on white fabric using the department’s gigantic fabric printer. But I’m always envious of the fabric painters, who can just whip out their paintbrushes and create a work of art on fabric (like season 4 guest, Dena Fishbein). How about you?

The winner will be announced tomorrow, along with the Day 3 prize! Good luck!

I created beautiful fabric from muslin by “pounding flowers” onto the fabric and then using fabric pens to enhance the designs. I use the “new created” fabric for skirts, purses, wall hangings, pillows.

I was just thinking the other day that I would like to make my own fabric with a drawing I have from one of my grandchildren. Unfortuneately I don’t know how. I am an avid seamstress and sewer. So would like to learn.

Most of my design fabric is for my hand work. I can’t always find the exact color or shading and will try some dyes to see it can get what I want. I would love to learn the correct process and then maybe my projects will then look better than good!

I’ve got this book too! Another fun one. I have purchased a bunch of inks, pens and stuff to try and create my own fabric. I read the blogs of so many wonderful artists where the designs just flow onto paper so easily. Maybe one day I’ll wake up with that talent, but for now it takes a lot of thinking.
